Definitions

  • the present invention relates in general to a magnetic head core which includes two ferrite members forming an annular, closed magnetic circuit, and in particular to a novel structure of such a magnetic head core which assures a reduced inductance and is suitably used with a recent magnetic recording medium having a relatively high recording density.
  • a type of magnetic head used with a rigid disk drive (RDD), hard disk drive (HDD), floppy disk drive (FDD) and other devices has a magnetic head core, which includes a first ferrite member and a second ferrite member butted and bonded together to form an annular, closed magnetic path having a coil-winding aperture.
  • the magnetic head core has a disk-sliding surface to be opposed to a magnetic recording medium, which surface is formed to extend across the two ferrite members.
  • a coil is wound around the first ferrite member of the head core.
  • the magnetic head core in which the annular, closed magnetic path is formed by the ferrite members suffers from undesirably high inductance, and cannot use high-frequency signals due to a limited resonance frequency.
  • the known magnetic head core does not satisfy the requirement for high recording density of the magnetic recording medium.
  • the inductance of the magnetic head core can be effectively reduced by reducing a cross sectional area of the ferrite members forming the magnetic path, as disclosed in JP-A-3-283008 filed by the assignee of the present application.
  • JP-A-3-283008 filed by the assignee of the present application.
  • the above object may be accomplished according to the principle of the present invention, which provides a head core for a magnetic head for recording information on a magnetic recording medium, comprising: (a) a first ferrite member and a second ferrite member butted and bonded together to form an annular, closed magnetic path around a coil-winding groove, the first and second ferrite members providing a sliding surface to which the magnetic recording medium is opposed, the sliding surface extending across the first and second ferrite members; (b) a coil attached to a coil-winding portion of the first ferrite member; and (c) a non-magnetic material secured to at least one of an inner surface and an outer surface of the coil-winding portion of the first ferrite member, such that the non-magnetic material extends over the entire length of the coil-winding portion, the non-magnetic material being located below said sliding surface and being spaced apart from the magnetic recording medium by a portion of the first ferrite member which provides a part of the sliding surface.
  • the coil-winding portion of the first ferrite member exhibits a sufficiently high mechanical strength due to the presence of the non-magnetic material secured to the coil-winding portion.
  • the thickness of the coil-winding portion of the first ferrite member and the cross sectional area of the corresponding portion of the magnetic path formed by the first ferrite member can be significantly reduced, assuring a sufficiently high strength of the ferrite member. Due to the reduced cross sectional area of the magnetic path, the head core of the present invention exhibits reduced inductance, which permits the magnetic head to perform high density recording on a magnetic recording medium.

Between the first and second ferrite members 12, 14, there is formed a coil-winding aperture 16 around which an annular, closed magnetic path is formed by the first and second ferrite members 10, 12.
  • a track portion 22 having a suitable height is formed on a top surface 20 of the core slider 10 which is to face a magnetic recording medium, so as to extend across the first and second ferrite members 12, 14.
  • This track portion 22 provides a sliding surface on which the magnetic recording medium slides.
  • a thin-film like gap spacer 18 is provided between the abutting surfaces of the first and second ferrite members 12, 14, such that the gap spacer 18 provides a magnetic gap 23 which is open in the sliding surface of the track portion
  • the first and second ferrite members 12, 14 have respective inclined surfaces located below the track portion 22, which surfaces define a predetermined depth of the magnetic gap 23.
  • a V-shaped space or notch formed between the inclined surfaces of the abutting surfaces of the ferrite members 12, 14 is filled with a reinforcing glass 24.
  • a pair of air bearing portions 26, 28 having a suitable height are formed on the top surface 20 of the second ferrite member 14.
  • One of the air bearing portions 26 is formed integrally with the track portion 22 to extend therefrom.
  • the first ferrite member 12 as part of the annular magnetic path has a thin-walled vertical portion 30 which serves as a coil-winding portion on which a coil (not shown) is wound. That is, the vertical portion 30 has a smaller thickness than the other portions forming the annular magnetic path. In other words, the cross sectional area of the annular magnetic path is reduced at the vertical portion 30.
  • the first ferrite member 12 further has a non-magnetic material 32 such as glass, which is secured to an inner circumferential surface of the vertical portion 30.
  • the non-magnetic material 32 having a suitable thickness is formed over the entire length of the vertical portion 30.
  • the non-magnetic material 32 is provided within the coil-winding aperture 16, such that the material 32 is not directly exposed to the top surface of the track portion 22 which serves as the sliding surface of the core slider 10.
  • the thus constructed core slider 10 is produced in the following manner, for example.
  • a first ferrite block 34 which gives the first ferrite member 12 and a second ferrite block 36 which gives the second ferrite member 14 are prepared, as shown in FIG. 3.
  • coil-winding grooves 38, 40 are formed by machining in respective abutting surfaces of the first and second ferrite blocks 34, 36.
  • the first and second ferrite or Ni--Zn blocks 34, 36 are preferably formed of a ferrite material having a high permeability, such as a single crystal of Mn--Zn ferrite.
  • the coil-winding groove 38 of the first ferrite block 34 is filled with a molten mass of reinforcing glass 42. Then, a portion of the reinforcing glass 42 in the groove 38 of the first ferrite block 34 is removed by cutting, whereby a glass portion 32 formed of a non-magnetic material is formed with a suitable thickness in a bottom portion of the coil-winding groove 38.
  • a non-magnetic material such as SiO 2 or Al 2 O 3 , is applied by sputtering or other method to at least one of the abutting surfaces of the first and second ferrite blocks 34, 36, so as to form the gap spacer 18 between the two ferrite blocks 34, 36.
  • the first and second ferrite blocks 34, 36 are butted and bonded together.
  • a molten glass is poured into a V-shaped groove or notch formed between mutually facing inclined portions of the bonding surfaces of the two ferrite blocks 34, 36.
  • the reinforcing glass portion 24 is formed between the first and second ferrite blocks 34, 36, and a gapped bar 44 as shown in FIG. 6 is thus formed.
  • the reinforcing glass 42 for forming the glass portion 32 has a deformation temperature which is higher than the temperature at which the reinforcing glass is poured into the V-shaped groove between the first and second ferrite blocks 34, 36.
  • the glass portion 32 is advantageously formed of a glass material (42) which has a deformation temperature of 635° C. and a coefficient of thermal expansion of 100 ⁇ 10 -7 /°C.
  • a pattern of a photoresist is formed on the top or sliding surface of the gapped bar 44, which is then subjected to a chemical etching using an aqueous solution that contains a phosphoric acid as a major component.
  • the track portion 22 and air bearing portion 26, 28 are formed on the sliding surface of the gapped bar 44, as shown in FIG. 7.
  • an end portion of the first ferrite block 34 is cut away along a broken line as shown in FIG. 7, so that the total thickness: t1 of the vertical portion 30 and glass portion 32 is controlled to a predetermined value.
  • the vertical portion 30 of the first ferrite block 34 has a relatively small thickness t2, as compared with the other portions of the ferrite block 34.
  • the gapped bar 44 is machined so as to form a yoke portion which corresponds to each of the track portions 22, and the yoke portion is tapered, as shown in FIG. 8. Then, the gapped bar 44 is cut in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction thereof, and a desired core slider 10 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is thus completed.
  • the vertical portion 30 of the first ferrite member 12 on which the coil is wound is given an increased strength due to the provision of the glass portion 32 fixed to the vertical portion 30.
  • the thickness t2 of the vertical portion 30 of the first ferrite member 12 can be significantly reduced so as to reduce the cross sectional area of the corresponding vertical portion 30 of the annular magnetic path, while assuring a sufficiently high strength of the first ferrite member 12.
  • the reduced cross sectional area of the magnetic path leads to a reduced inductance of the magnetic head core, which makes it possible for the head core to be suitably used with a magnetic recording medium having a high recording density.
  • the glass portion 32 is spaced apart from the track portion 22 which provides the sliding surface facing the magnetic recording medium, such that the glass portion 32 is located remote from the magnetic recording medium with the track portion 22 positioned therebetween. Since the glass portion 32 is not exposed to the surface of the track portion 22, the three dimensional shape of the track portion 22 on the side of the sliding surface can be formed by chemical etching, assuring improved efficiency with which the core slider 10 is produced.
  • an edge portion of the vertical portion 30, i.e., the trailing edge of the core slider 10 is not tapered or chamfered.
  • the track portion 22 can be formed so as to protrude a suitable height from the top surface 20 of the second ferrite member 14 which faces the magnetic recording medium. With the protruding track portion 22, the edge portion of the vertical portion 30 is protected from contact with the magnetic recording medium. The elimination of the step of chamfering the edge portion also leads to improved efficiency with which the core slider 10 is produced.
  • the total thickness t1 of the vertical portion 30 and glass portion 32 was controlled to 0.15 mm, and the front face of the vertical portion 30 was dimensioned as indicated in FIG. 9.
  • the inductance of each core slider was measured by an impedance analyzer, when a voltage of 0.03 V was applied at a frequency of 1 MHz to the coil having 32 turns.
  • the tensile strength was measured by a tensile tester of load-cell type.
  • FIG. 10 there is shown a core slider 48 as another embodiment of the present invention, which has a different structure for a yoke portion of a first ferrite member to which a non-magnetic material is secured.

Then, the groove 50 is filled with a reinforcing glass 42 as the non-magnetic material. The thickness of the glass-filling groove 50 is determined depending upon the thickness of the vertical portion 30 of the first ferrite member 12.

  • the cross sectional area of the annular magnetic path formed by the first ferrite member 12 can be reduced, whereby the inductance can be advantageously reduced, thus permitting the head core slider 48 to perform high density recording on a magnetic recording medium.
  • the step of forming the track portion 22 and air-bearing portions 26, 28 is followed by the step of grinding or cutting the first ferrite block 34 so as to form the yoke portions. Therefore, the exposed portion of the reinforcing glass 42 is removed after the portion is exposed to an etching liquid while the track portion 22 and others are formed by chemical etching. Accordingly, the reinforcing glass 42 may be selected from a wide range of glass materials, without taking into account the deterioration of the reinforcing glass 42 by the etching liquid.
